It was great they can deliver to our Dollar General which meant we didn't have to waste our day sitting at home waiting for a delivery. They also had a very hard liqueur to find but they had it. Very happy with the service. Thank you Irene Kozlowski

Very easy to place your order, prices are good, confirmation and shipping information is quick and the order arrives correct and usually a day sooner than expected. What more could you ask for. I am a new customer and just received my third order. As long as customer service and pricing remains at this level, I have no reason to go anywhere else for my liquor and wine purchases.

2018 Chateau Margaux (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaux, Bordeaux, France

B-21 Top Recommendation

“The wonderful combination of refinement and power”

James Suckling

Described by Decanter as “one of Bordeaux's most refined first growths,” the elegant Chateau Margaux is a seductive charmer built on powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, this trio of captivating 100 pt. vintages offering rich enticing fruit with Margaux’s signature floral aromatics and dense, silky tannins built for decades of aging, delivered in perfect provenance at best on the market pricing.

Approached on an enchanting tree lined drive leading up to impressive iron gates, the magnificent Chateau Margaux is housed in a neo-Palladian building designed by famed Bordeaux architect Louis Combes, its two-story columns inspired by the Pantheon and surrounded by a small village that includes an onsite cooperage and a start of the art winery designed to blend seamlessly with the 17th century Chateaux. Showing an unwavering commitment to Margaux for over four decades, owner Corinne Menzelopoulos began working with legendary consulting enologist Emile Peynaud in the 1980’s to dramatically improve quality at her family’s estate, lowering yields and implementing stricter selection with only about a third of production making the cut for the Grand Vin. Managed by director Philippe Bascaules since 2017, the 82 hectare vineyard is planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon in some of “the poorest gravel soils in the appellation” according to Bordeaux expert Jane Anson, protected from frost by its proximity to the Gironde Estuary and surrounded by newly planted trees to increase biodiversity. Aged in 100% new French oak, the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown calls the luxurious 100 pt. 2018 Chateau Margaux “a classic Margaux at its most seductive, while Antonio Galloni describes it as “dense and explosive in the glass,” summing it up as “a dramatic wine that will thrill readers lucky enough to own it.” Described as “quite stunning” by Neal Martin of Vinous, the breathtaking 100 pt. 2019 Chateau Margaux offers “a strikingly vibrant core of fruit” that’s “complex, elegant and utterly compelling” according to the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley with “a wonderful balance of having an immediate drinking appeal but also the structure, power and density to age” according to Decanter’s Georgina Hindle. Declared “a Margaux for the ages” by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, the alluring 100 pt. 2020 Chateau Margaux reveals “supple and plentiful tannins that have no intention of relinquishing their hold for decades to come” according to critic Anson, described as boasting “remarkable purity as well as flawless balance” by Jeb Dunnuck who declares “I love everything about this wine.”

Elegantly expressing “the quintessence of terroir” according to the Wine Advocate, these alluring 100 pt. Chateau Margaux vintages offer a rare opportunity to acquire perfectly rated Bordeaux directly from the Chateau for a fortunate few, promising to reward a little patient cellaring and echoing the words of Jeb Dunnuck ready to “blow you away any time over the coming 40+ years.”

The 2018 Château Margaux is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, representing 36% of the crop this year. The wine has a pH of 3.8 and 14% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal tantalizing scents of crème de cassis, wild blueberries and Black Forest cake with hints of redcurrant jelly, rose oil, dark chocolate and cedar chest plus a touch of star anise. The medium to full-bodied palate bursts with opulent black fruit, fragrant earth and floral layers, supported by a rock-solid structure of exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins and seamless backbone of freshness, finishing with fantastic length. This is classic Margaux at its most seductive, although it is, rather amazingly, approachable and absolutely delicious right now. But, to enjoy its full glory, you will want to cellar it for at least 6-8 years and then watch it metamorphize over the next 40+ years.

Based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Château Margaux is a magical, incredibly sexy expression of this Château that sports a dense purple color as well as a thrilling bouquet of blueberries, cassis, acacia flowers, scorched earth, sandalwood, and violets. Incredibly concentrated and full-bodied on the palate, it nevertheless has an almost Burgundian sense of finesse and elegance, with an ethereal texture, silky yet massive amounts of tannins, notable freshness, and brilliant length. The alcohol hit a whopping 14%, which is high by this estate's standards, but everything is flawlessly integrated, the balance is perfect, and I certainly can't find anything that could be better. This 2018 is going to be relatively drinkable at an early age (do your best to hide bottles for 7-8 years) yet last for 75+.

100 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Mar 2021)

So much ash, tobacco and earth to the bright blackberry and currant aromas. Flowers too. Fresh. Full-bodied with seamless tannins that spread across your palate and caress every square centimeter. It’s shows loads of ripe-berry, cherry, currant and chocolate character, as well as walnut and light cedar. Then the finish goes on for minutes. Extremely refined and elegant, despite the structure. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 4% cabernet franc, 4% merlot and 2% petit verdot. A joy to taste, but drink after 2025.

The 2019 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, with the first wine representing 37% of the harvest. Deep purple-black colored, it needs considerable coaxing to release scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and ripe blackcurrants, leading to nuances of violets, cedar chest, pencil shavings, wood smoke, and wet slate with a waft of black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is simply electric, with a firework display of mineral earth and black fruits and super-fine, firm, tannins, plus incredible tension, finishing with epic length and depth. "I'm surprised by the body," commented winemaker Philippe Bascaules as we tasted together. "During primeurs, the 2019 was full of charm. Now it is more concentrated, more powerful." Indeed.

100 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent (Apr 2022)

The 2018 Margaux is an infant. Today, the tannins are unusually searing, but then again, the 2018 is a wine in which all the elements are dialed up to the maximum. Time in the glass releases the fruit, revealing a luxurious, opulent Château Margaux built for the cellar. Cedar, tobacco, dried flowers and mint develop with a bit of coaxing. Rich, deep and utterly beguiling, the 2018 is a dramatic wine that will thrill readers lucky enough to own it.

98+ points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Mar 2021)

This struts along with supreme confidence, as a cashmere-textured structure effortlessly carries a prodigious set of warmed cassis, plum reduction and blackberry compote flavors, pulling in alder, bergamot, black and red tea and iron notes. Still manages to come across as restrained in the end. A beautiful wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2028 through 2040. 10,833 cases made.

98 points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Mar 2021)

While this wine reflects the richness and density of the vintage, it also shows all the elegance of which a great Margaux is capable. The wine is powerful and beautifully structured, both ripe and restrained. It will age magnificently. Start to think about drinking from 2028.

98 points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (May 2021)

This is extremely powerful, with high tannin levels that are beautifully velvety and a real presence that is going to need a good 15 years before it softens. There are layers and layers of subtlety here, charcoal, earth, fresh acidity - a ton of serious character that needs time to inch towards opening. Grips on like a limpet - this needs a good half an hour in the glass to even begin to open, but as it does so you see clearly the finesse and precision of the fruit construction. Exceptionally good. 3.64pH, 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 36% of the harvest in the first wine. Bottled mid-September.
